Steem can show you how circular life can be. My third post, My first twitch broadcast, on Steem was horrible. It had a terrible video of me playing Hearthstone live on Twitch. The text that accompanied the post was... Let's be nice and say bad.
I was still just me but that is all the post had going for it!
The wonderful part about my third post on the Steem Blockchain is how two years later I can go back and see how far I have progressed.
I can see how I have grown in writing, editing video footage, and blogging in general. I am proud of how far I have come in two years.
The last month has not been the best month ever in my life. The last two weeks rate right up there as the worst two weeks ever. In order to take my mind off of everything, I opened up my old main Hearthstone gaming account.
Hearthstone is an electronic card game along the lines of SteemMonsters. What I loved, even now, is Hearthstone is a lot like chess but not as boring. It makes you think, plan ahead, and do math problems. <okay I don't like the math part. 😆
Two years of not playing Hearthstone, a game with three new expansions each year, at my skill level means you can not compete on any level unless you throw hundreds of dollars at it.
Not an option for me.
Money was one of the reasons why I stopped playing Hearthstone. In order to stay somewhat current and competitive, three times each year money was needed to get about 60% of the newest cards. Yeah.
One of the great things about playing Hearthstone and being on Steem was when SteemMonsters came out I saw it was a lot like Hearthstone. I ended up giving all my cards to @Enginewitty. I had been down that slippery slope before!! I will keep my Steem in my wallet thank you very much! 😹
It's a big word. It has some bad connotations associated with it but also very good ones.
The word stubborn comes to mind when I think of perseverance. I have been called stubborn a time or a gazillion in my life. I am okay with that. If I didn't have perseverance in my life I would never have learned all the cool things I have over my 55 years of living.
In the video above starting at timestamp 3:09, I get into a Hearthstone match against a top tier player with a tier 1 deck. I was playing a Murloc Shaman deck. I should have given up playing against them at least 3 times. I didn't. I never concede a game until I am dead. What does it hurt to keep trying?
What does this have to do with Steem? Looking at my third post most people would have given up. Most people would have said it wasn't a quality post and should never have been posted on Steem.
I say the third Steem post of mine is beautiful to me in so many ways. It shows how far I have come. How I never gave up against all odds. How no matter what happens in my life I persevered with Steem and became a better person for it.
That, and I won against the Preist Deck!! 🙀
